Why are there 2 KIAs?
posted 5 years ago by twentyonepepes 5 years ago by twentyonepepes +43 / -0

I know this must seem like a really a stupid question for those with the necessary background knowledge but I've been trying to figure it out for a while.

Update: I get it now! KIA2 is KIA with blackjack and hookers.

Short Answer: Mod-induced split in the community, with KiA2 being more open to broader content.

Long Answer: Back on Reddit there was the original KiA and we were one big dysfunctional family. The mods kept cracking down on the sub with more and more restrictive (and arbitrarily implemented) rules. Eventually they put a vote to the community on a making one of the rules more restrictive. The community told them to stuff it, and they said "No, fuck you" and went ahead with clamping down anyway. A lot of us didn't like that, so there was a split that created KiA2, with blackjack and hookers. KiA2 was known for being more liberal with the content allowed, which, in turn, got us branded as being a haven for lots of "undesirable" posters that would have been banned out of existence on half-KiA. Not too long after that, T_D got banned off of Reddit and we saw the writing on the wall. We created the lifeboat over here, and we've remained more active on the .win side.
